Criminal Justice Services

Open Road provides Criminal Justice Services which are aimed at safeguarding communities and reducing offending within the community. These services work mainly with offenders, and sometimes their families, to support and assist them in addressing the issues which cause, or may cause them to offend. Volunteer workers are a crucial element of our Criminal Justice work – they are trained to provide specialist support to each service.
